Everything looks good to me.

Slow posters.....err, I mean slow travelling posters,

We have a challenge! Will anyone take me up on it? At the end of the post, both Leod and Dorran ask for ideas in getting Sythric over the log and the mini-bog. If Leod was thinking straight, he could probably come up with something, but right now he's too concerned about Sythric's physical condition.

If anyone has any ideas on this from the group (including Sythric), go ahead and do a single post to get us over the obstacle and on the straight and flat trail. You can probably post our entry into camp since we only have two miles to go now to catch up.

Feel free to use Leod or Dorran if you need them to help getting over/removing the obstacle. If no one picks up on this by tomorrow morning, I'll go ahead and do it myself (although I have no idea what to say).

Brand has offered a suggestion . . . but, feel free anyone to go ahead and do something else to get the group onto the straight and flat trail and into camp.

I've just got home from our choir's season's end -concert, and saw what has happened. Nice idea this one!

Go with Brand's idea, or take Sythric's. I can't write anything right now, as I need some sleep, but I could write something in 14-16 hours from now.

Getting on horseback and then steering the horse over it, would be too much for him - as Leod has already said. But Sythric could suggest two of them helping him over. He could walk - or at least he could be "walked" over the "pond" if it's not too deep. That could possibly be the easiest and fastest way over it. Someone could then just ride over the water with the empty sledge tied to the horse, and Sythric could be re-settled to the sledge on the other side? And Leod would probably settle for those two miles before actually starting to stich Sythric - as the evening is drawing closer. Sythric at least would encourage him to wait for the camp - assuring him, that he would make a few miles.

So. I'll see tomorrow (my RL time), what's going on. If you prefer Sythric's idea, go on with the story that way (and please use Sythric as you see fit - somewhat following the lines I have described up above). I can post Sythric making the idea to this thread, from where Arry or Pio could move it f.ex. after Arry's last one. If you follow Brand's idea, go on with it. I'll post something tomorrow then... according to the situation.

Sythric has proposed his idea - and is almost about to rise up from the sledge (I'm not sure, whether he would manage it by himself though).

Make your decision and go forwards. Use Sythric as you see fit, so that you don't have to wait for my possible reactions, and we can get to the nightcamp before the game is closed for awhile.

We're all in camp. If there are any problems with how I've used people, let me know and I'll edit for the night.

No problem with Sythric.

And WOW! Leod is beginning to "show his qualities"!

Good post Tevildo!
